EDITOR’S PICK: FakeWatchBusta on how to buy your first baller watch
Editor’s Note: Last night over drinks a friend had a question. He considers he’s reached some sort of early milestone in his collecting.

VIDEO: The CEO of Ferrari Australasia drives into our office (literally) to talk Hublot and the 488 Spider
We’re no stranger to Hublot’s partnership with the Ferrari, and we’ve managed to get pretty close to the action over the years. We’ve worn the watches, checked out the pit lanes and talked about the design inspiration. But never, ever did we expect to have a Ferrari (much less the latest $600k 488 Spider) drive … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The CEO of Ferrari Australasia drives into our office (literally) to talk Hublot and the 488 Spider appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: We asked Oscar Hunt Tailors to design a suit to match the Clé de Cartier
[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/187740917″] The idea is at once compelling and faintly ridiculous. Ask Oscar Hunt Tailors, who specialise in made to measure suits, to tailor a suit to a watch. That’s right. Treat a watch like a person – look at its shoulders, its shape and move to accentuate, flatter and embrace it with perfectly matched … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: We asked Oscar Hunt Tailors to design a suit to match the Clé de Cartier appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: We took the VC Overseas collection to an island paradise and It. Was. Glorious.
Was it really necessary? To take a journey involving two flights (one of them aboard a very small plane) to a tropical island somewhere between Sydney and New Zealand that, at any given time, has a maximum of 750 people on it to test out the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection? I would argue that, because Lord Howe … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: We took the VC Overseas collection to an island paradise and It. Was. Glorious. appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/183285693″] One of the hottest topics at this year’s Baselworld fair was TAG Heuer’s ’20k tourbillon’. And that nickname is even more impressive when you translate it into US, which gets it much closer to 15k. It represents the brand’s comparatively accessible take on that most hallowed (and most expensive) of complications.
